A device (11) for preventing removal of a lid from a container comprising a cover with a top (12) which is adapted to fit over a lid of a container; an engagement means consisting of an upper continuous cylindrical wall (17) and a lower section (18) of integral and flexible leg segments (18), each segment having a lateral portion or rib (20) for engaging a neck part of the container to prevent removal of the cover from the container; and a retaining means in the form of three independently rotatable locking rings (23,24,35) for preventing disengagement of the engagement means from the container. The device is used on a typical drinking bottle with a screw on cap to prevent removal of the cap thereby maintaining hygiene and safety aspects of the liquid contents.
